When will IPS start supporting php 8.2?

There is no specific time I can give you on this at present. For the minute, you should be using 8.1

I am currently using 8.1

Invision Community 5 will support PHP 8.2.

We've spent a few weeks really cleaning up the codebase as PHP becomes more strict about typing. It's unlikely v4 will support 8.2 as it'd need roughly the same amount of work.

Hm, how do you handle that PHP 8.1 will be EOL 25th Nov 2024 and you want to support v4 several years after v5 is released then?

From 2025 onwards, I would assume v4 will be critical fixes and security updates only.

In terms of EOL, 8.0 becomes EOL in November, but I would expect that many thousands of customers would still be using 8.0, and we'd continue to use that as our lowest possible PHP version.

@Matt, in IPS5 the front will be on the jQuery?

Yes but during 5’s lifecycle we will be removing it and using native. Any new front end functionality is mostly native.
